The Federal Bureau of Investigation has made an investigation and submitted information to this Division con- cerning recent activities of the following persons and organizations, and has requested our opinion as to whether or not possible violations of the Neutrality laws are indicated and whether further investigation is desired. In each instance I am advising the Bureau that no in- vestigation is desired at the present time, but that these matters will be discussed with the new administration after January 20. In brief, the facts in each case are as follows: allegedly a "prominent United States diver," reportedly was contacted by Cuban friends and offered X25,000 to destroy the main refinery supplying diesel fuel for power in Santiago Harbor in Cuba. Tentative plans call for the purchase of a two-man submarine from an unknown individual on Long Island to be used in the operation. If the oil refinery is in fact owned by the Cuban government, there could conceivably be a violation of 18 U.S.C. 956.
